New grill looks a lot better in person, especially with an AEV bumper in front of it. It's still very clearly a Jeep, and either version of JL grill is drastically better than JK was. We've got a...

I could have had my mom's low mile LJ for practically free but she let the thing rust out so damn bad I wanted nothing to do with it. I spent an hour to patch the floor, listed it honestly on...

A friend is selling a nearly identical one but it's a 6 speed. It's been wheeled and has minor rust, but overall a solid rig for a toy.

My advice: regear that fukker ASAP. The low end torque of that diesel is a great crutch, but it's still a crutch. Same with the 8spd. Both are super capable and super forgiving. I'm sure it's...

You and me both. I have yet to see one in person, but one of my counterparts at work who lives in Berkeley has seen a half dozen of them in the wild already. With M plates of course. I'm only 30...

99% of the aftermarket couldn't properly tune static bypass shocks(which inherently suck for street use anyway), let alone be able to properly manage active damping. Would be pretty sweet to be able...

If it happens it will absolutely 100% be priced like an SRT and sold in limited numbers and it will have almost zero impact on their light truck market. No insider information here, just government...

It's pretty fun. Rebuilding shocks is fun and really easy, just knowing what to tweak is tricky. Especially on a vehicle with awful mass ratios that sees a huge mix of uses and terrain. I did lots of...

Totally different setup than the ones I've been looking at. That's the lighter duty version that mounts outboard, I'm looking at the heavier duty ones that mount slightly inboard. Obviously stability...

You probably didn't notice the ride difference as much in your 2500 cuz it's already stiff as hell. Mine rode pretty damn rough from the get-go and had high enough load capacity I never put helper...

Helper Bags

Seems like a lot of the rear helper bags remove the bumpstop and go in place of it. Not a huge fan of this. Air Lift offers one that has the bumpstop built into the inside of the bag, seems like a...

Yes there's still steel mesh supporting them. And the one way valve effect would make sense for a kink or broken down inner lining. There's very high pressure forcing fluid to the pistons, but very...

I've met you numerous times, I've wheeled with you at the dunes, and I'm still only like 74% confident that your name is Jeff. But to be fair, I'm horrible with names.

I love the 8 speed with a Hemi, they just rip and feel good. The 8 speed JL on 35s isn't great, but isn't awful. On 37s it's a fair bit worse, no surprise there.

What's bad about the GM 8 speed?...
